Composition of Benches

Supreme Court observed that the Chairman should preferably constitute each bench comprising of one judicial/legal Member and one Member from civil service; that in such a situation, with reference to the disputes of civil servants, both (Members) could give their input on the judicial and executive sides, which would improve the quality of decision making and the judgments pronounced and strengthen the independence of judiciary in its role of enforcing the Fundamental Right of access to justice, and that where a single Member Bench was to be constituted, preference should be given to the judicial Member to hold the hearing.
